TCM Schedule for Thurs, Feb 6, 2025: 30 Days of Oscar - Day 6

Daytime films appear to be selected by Oscar category, i.e.. "Best Cinematography," where as evening films are selected by subject matter. There aren't categories tying tonights lineup together other than that they were either all nominated for some kind of Oscar, or won. This is an odd programming idea IMO.
